changing IP scheme need help with cutover for windows printers

[Guest obulldog27]

We are changing our network IP Scheme so therefore our old network

printer settings will not work. All our printers are installed on our

w2k server and are shared out to users. If I just change the ip

settings for each printer will I have to re-add the printers on each

client or will this be a seamless change. Maybe there is an easier

method to do this.

If you don't change the printers' FQDN, that should work.

yes but if he already has ip ports, he would have to add the new ip's

and remove the old ones.

clients will print to a unc path \\printserv\printer port updates will

change seemlessly on the clients.

 

what OS are the clients using?
